I wanted to like this much more than I did. It has a great concept: seven stories about body positivity with sympathetic women protagonists of all body types... for the most part, anyway. There's one exception: "Eddie's Ring" by A.T. Russell, which feels like an outlier. The other stories have a woman as the main character, overcoming career or romantic struggles as she improves her self-esteem. "Eddie's Ring", however, is told from the perspective of a deeply unpleasant husband, and the tone is more nasty than good-natured. It feels as if it would have been a better fit for a different - and much darker - anthology. Apart from that the other stories are alright; I'd probably give them all between two and three stars.

The biggest reason that this collection as a whole is getting one star from me, however, is the execution. The book is absolutely littered with errors. Most books have the odd typo, but this has spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes and punctuation mistakes everywhere. There are so many that it clearly hasn't been given even the most cursory proofread or edit, which is a shame. If the publisher can't be bothered to care, then I don't see why anyone else should.
